The pyrimidine/purine-biased region located upstream of the EGF (epidermal growth factor) receptor gene transcription initiation sites was sensitive to S1 nuclease when under superhelical tension. The structural basis of this specific reactivity to S1 nuclease was probed by the use of diethyl pyrocarbonate. The patterns of modification suggested that the H-form proposed by Mirkin, Lyamichev, Drushlyak, Dobrynin, Filippov & Frank-Kamenetskii [Nature (London) (1987) 330, 495-497], which includes an intramolecular triplex and a single-stranded region, was the most plausible model for the sequence tested. The results of dimethyl sulphate modification also supported this model.
位于表皮生长因子(EGF)受体基因转录起始位点上游的嘧啶/嘌呤偏倚区在超螺旋张力下对S1核酸酶敏感。通过使用焦碳酸二乙酯探究了对S1核酸酶这种特异性反应性的结构基础。修饰模式表明,米尔金、利亚米切夫、德鲁什利亚克、多布林宁、菲利波夫和弗兰克-卡梅涅茨基[《自然》(伦敦)(1987年)330卷,495 - 497页]提出的H型结构,包括一个分子内三链体和一个单链区,是所测试序列最合理的模型。硫酸二甲酯修饰的结果也支持该模型。
